Looking for a Infatica alternative?
Infatica sells residential traffic as monthly GB quotas, from 25 GB for $96 to 1000 GB for $2,600. That works when your volume is predictable. When it isn’t, you either pay for GB you didn’t use or move up a tier.
Storm Proxies is the simpler option for teams that run their own scrapers or SEO software in the USA and EU. You pick ports or threads, and bandwidth is unlimited. What you lose is Infatica’s global targeting, SOCKS support and non-USA dedicated IPs. Weigh those before you switch.
The 500 GB residential plan, priced out
Infatica’s 500 GB residential plan makes a fair benchmark: think of a monitoring job that runs every day. Here are both monthly prices, as listed on each site today.
Even the cheapest Infatica residential plan, 25 GB for $96, costs more than Storm’s 5 ports, and it stops at 25 GB. To run more connections on Storm, you step up to 10 ports for $90 or 20 for $160, still with no data count.
Dedicated datacenter is different, and here Infatica can be cheaper. It lists $1 to $1.50 per IP with unlimited traffic, against Storm’s $2 per proxy. Storm’s dedicated proxies are USA only, with virgin IPs, a 1 Gbps network and 100 concurrent threads. If you need dedicated IPs in Europe or Asia, Infatica has them.
One more point on the quota model: Infatica bills residential plans monthly, so a slow month still costs the full plan price. Storm works the same way, but our fixed price buys unlimited traffic rather than a GB ceiling, so a busy month never forces an upgrade.
Quotas versus flat plans
Infatica sells residential traffic in monthly quotas. Pay as you go is $4/GB. Plans run 25 GB ($96), 100 GB ($360), 241 GB ($700), 500 GB ($1,350) and 1000 GB ($2,600), with custom pricing above that. Each plan includes up to 20 proxy lists of 1000 ports and an API tool.
Storm sells capacity. Five residential ports run five connections at once, each getting a new USA or EU IP every 5 minutes, for $50 a month. How many gigabytes go through them is your business, not ours.
Where Infatica is stronger
- Targeting. Country, city and ISP level on residential, with its IP portfolio listed by country on its pricing page.

- More product types: mobile, static ISP, shared and dedicated datacenter, plus an API tool.
- Dedicated IPs on six continents, from $1 per IP.
- A larger residential pool: 45M+ IPs, compared with Storm’s 20M+.
Where Storm Proxies is stronger
- No residential quota. Unlimited bandwidth on every residential port.
- Rotating datacenter by thread. 700,000+ IPs behind one gateway, rotating every request or every 3 or 15 minutes, from $14/month.
- A short, clear refund rule that covers datacenter too: Infatica’s refund page excludes ISP and datacenter proxies.
- Packs for specific jobs: ticket sites, AIO Bot, Instagram, Facebook and other social networks.
- Instant access. Gateway IPs show up in your member area the moment payment clears.

How hard is it to switch from Infatica to Storm Proxies?
Quick, for most tools. Infatica hands out proxy lists with login-password or IP whitelist auth. Storm gives you gateway IPs after payment; you whitelist your server’s IP in the member area and paste the gateways into your scraper. There are no proxy lists to regenerate, because rotation happens behind the gateway. If your workflow depends on Infatica’s API tool or city targeting, plan to keep those parts elsewhere.
